“You’re grounded!”—most parents heard this at least once during their own childhoods, and many of them see grounding as a valid way to address misbehavior by their kids. However, spur-of-the-moment, non-specific, and/or excessive groundings can cause more problems than they solve. As with any type of child discipline, grounding should be thought out calmly, supported by established rules and consequences, and imposed proportionally to the misbehavior. If this type of grounding still does not produce the desired results, you may want to consider other alternatives.
Establish clear, reasonable rules based on your child’s age and circumstances, and use “if...then” style language to explain the consequences of breaking the rules.
Prioritize natural consequences for bad behavior. For example, if your child broke a vase, have them clean the mess and save up to buy you a new one.
Grounding them from using social media is an effective punishment, but making them miss their big basketball game or recital should only be done with much consideration.
Lay out specific, relatable, achievable expectations for behavior.
Vague directives like “be good or you’ll be in trouble” or “you better shape up if you don’t want to be grounded” don’t give kids enough information to form a clear understanding of conditions and consequences. Establish clear rules that are reasonable based on your child’s age and circumstances, and use “if...then”-style language to lay out the consequences of breaking the rules.
“You aren’t allowed to play video games for an hour after you get home from school, because this is homework and study time.”
“If you break this rule, you will not be allowed to play video games for a week.”
Keep the focus on short-term expectations.
Kids and teens tend to focus on the here-and-now, so giving long-range directives won’t be as effective. Instead of saying “you have to give your best effort in history class this year,” focus on the week or two ahead: “you have to keep up on your homework this week and start studying for next week’s test.”
Limit or avoid grounding before a child is 10-12 years old.
Grounding isn’t particularly impactful before a child starts to develop strong connections and an identity outside the home. That is, most kids under 10-12 won’t really see grounding as much of a punishment.
For somewhat younger kids, though, very targeted “groundings”—banning them from playing with a certain toy or doing a certain activity, for instance—may be effective.
Kids under age 6, or maybe even up to 8, likely won’t be able to perceive the cause-and-effect connection between their misbehavior and their grounding.
Ground them in a targeted manner.
You want the grounding to be an unpleasant experience so the kid will not want to repeat it, but overdoing it will cause their resentment to obscure the message you’re trying to get across. Ground them from places/things/people that will “hurt” to miss out on, but don't necessarily cut them off completely from their peer groups and important activities.
Make a transition to “empathic parenting” techniques.
Empathic parenting replaces traditional punishments like grounding with a communication-based approach. The goal is to help the child see what they did wrong and why, and to give them the means to choose how to “fix” things.
Some proponents of empathic parenting believe that grounding is never justified, while others believe it can be used in a limited fashion alongside empathic parenting techniques.
One way to practice empathetic parenting is to ask your child about their choices. For example, if your child makes a wrong choice, ask them about why that was the wrong choice and what a better choice might have been.
Focus on open communication instead of punishment.
Instead of grounding your child for failing a test because they went out with their friends instead of studying, try seeing things from their perspective and asking leading questions: “I know it can be hard to say ‘no’ to your friends when you’re trying to fit in at a new school. Can you tell me about how you felt afterward, when you realized you wouldn’t have time to study?”
Telling Your Child That They're Grounded
Setting Rules and Consequences With Your Child
How do I ground my child when they need to eat and drink?
Let him/her downstairs for dinner or bring dinner to their room. Provide water and snacks in their room when it is not meal time. Being grounded doesn't mean the child can't eat and drink.
Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.

Jul 4, 2024 · To get out of being grounded, start by talking to your parents about a compromise, such as doing extra chores, in exchange for making your grounding shorter. For example, you could offer to walk the dog every day in exchange for being grounded for only one week instead of two.
